Technical field
The present invention relates generally to radio communication, more particularly, relate to a kind of novelty with the method and apparatus improved, for dispatching and autonomous transmission and confirmation.
Background technology
Wireless communication system is widely adopted to provide various types of communication, such as voice-and-data.These systems can be based on code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA) or some other multiple access technology.Cdma system provides certain advantage compared with the system of other types, comprises and improves power system capacity.
Cdma system can be designed to support one or more CDMA standard, such as (1) " TIA/EIA-95-B Mobile Station-Base Station Compatibility Standardfor Dual-Mode Wideband Spread Spectrum Cellular System " (IS-95 standard), (2) by " third generation partner program " (3rd Generation PartnershipProject by name, alliance 3GPP) proposes, and include the standard (W-CDMA standard) in one group of file, described one group of file comprises reference number of a document No.3G TS 25.211, 3G TS 25.212, 3G TS 25.213 and 3G TS 25.214, (3) proposed by the alliance of " third generation partner program 2 " (3GPP2) by name, and the standard (IS-2000 standard) of including in " TR-45.5Physical Layer Standard forcdma2000 Spread Spectrum Systems ", (4) some other standard.
In above-mentioned standard, available frequency spectrum is concurrent shared among many users, and adopts the technology of such as power control and soft handover to keep enough quality, supports the business of the delay-sensitive that such as voice are such.Data service is also available.In recent years, propose by using high order modulation, feeding back rapidly carrier/interface ratio (Carrier toInterference ratio from travelling carriage, C/I) dispatch, rapidly and dispatch the business with looser delay requirement, strengthening the system of the capacity for data service.Use an example of the communication system of so only data (data-only) of these technology to be high data rate (high datarate, HDR) systems, it follows TIA/EIA/IS-856 standard (IS-856 standard).
With the canonical form of another above-mentioned proposition in pairs than, IS-856 system be once used in each community can whole frequency spectrum send data to the unique user selected based on link-quality.When doing like this, when this channel is good time, the time of the larger percentage of this system cost with higher rate sending data, thus avoids commit resources to go to support the transmission of inefficient rates.Final result is higher data capacity, higher peak data rate and higher average throughput.
System can combine by the support of the data to delay-sensitive and to the support of Packet data service, the voice channel that the support of the described data to delay-sensitive is such as supported in IS-2000 standard or data channel, those such as described in IS-856 standard of the described support to Packet data service.A kind of above-mentioned system is described in the suggestion being submitted to third generation partner program 2 (3GPP2) by lg electronics, LSI logic, Lucent Technologies, Nortel Networks, Qualcomm and Samsung.The detailed content of this suggestion is in following file: " the Updated Joint Physical Layer Proposal for1xEV-DV " that submit to 3GPP2 June 11 calendar year 2001, reference number of a document C50-20010611-009; Submit to August 20 calendar year 2001 " the Results of L3NQS Simulation Study " of 3GPP2, reference number of a document C50-20010820-011; With " the SystemSimulation Results for the L3NQS Framework Proposal for cdma20001xEV-DV " that submit to 3GPP2 August 20 calendar year 2001, reference number of a document C50-20010820-012.These and the associated documents that produce subsequently, such as the revised edition C of IS-2000 standard, comprises C.S0001.C to C.S0006.C, advises hereinafter referred to as 1xEV-DV.
In order to coordinate the use of forward direction and reverse link in an efficient way, such as, such as this 1xEV-DV advises that such system may need various signaling mechanism, for the transmission controlled between one or more base station and one or more travelling carriage.Such as, travelling carriage may need a kind of mechanism to coordinate its transfer of data on reverse link.Usually, travelling carriage will be dispersed in the coverage of a community, and by needing the amount being changed transmitting power by base station, for transmission signal or order effectively on the forward link, also the amount being changed transmitting power by travelling carriage is needed, for transmitting data on reverse link.Compared with the travelling carriage of relatively near or high geometry (geometry), the travelling carriage of relatively far away or low geometry may need more high-power forward link order and more high-power rl transmission.In both cases, the signaling coordinating shared resource access uses a part for this shared resource, because this reducing population size.The example of above-mentioned signaling comprises the confirmation of transfer of data of access request, access authorization and reception.
As known in wireless system design, when for same reliability, when can use less power to send a channel, the capacity of this system can be enhanced.In addition, reduce the amount coordinating expense, the shared resource simultaneously keeping such as communication link such is fully loaded with, also will improve capacity.Therefore, in this technology, exist for efficient transmitting and scheduling and coordination and reduce the needs distributing to the system loading of above-mentioned coordination.
Summary of the invention
Disclosed embodiment is illustrated the needs to multiple travelling carriage and the efficient Signal transmissions from multiple travelling carriage herein.In one embodiment, a subset of travelling carriage can utilize one or more independent access authorization to be assigned with a part for this shared resource, another subset can utilize single public mandate to be assigned with a part for this shared resource, and another subset can be allowed to without the need to any mandate the part using this shared resource.In another embodiment, without the need to extra request and mandate and its relevant expense, one confirms and continues that order is used to expand a whole or subset of prior authorizations.In one embodiment, traffic carrying capacity pilot tone ratio (T/P) is used to a part of distributing this shared resource, allows travelling carriage to select its transformat neatly based on T/P.Also other aspect various is provided.These aspects contribute to the demand providing effective utilization to reverse chain-circuit capacity, adapt to the such as change that low latency, high-throughput or different service quality are such, and reduce forward direction and reverse link overhead that these benefits are provided, therefore avoid too much interference and add capacity.

Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of wireless communication system 100, and it can be designed to support one or more CDMA standard and/or design (such as, W-CDMA standard, IS-95 standard, cdma2000 standard, HDR specification, 1xEV-DV suggestion).In an alternative embodiment, system 100 can support any wireless standard in addition to a cdma system or design in addition.In an exemplary embodiment, system 100 is 1xEV-DV systems.
For the sake of simplicity, the system 100 illustrated comprises three base stations 104 communicated with two travelling carriages 106.Base station and its coverage are often collectively referred to as " community ".In IS-95, cdma2000 or 1xEV-DV system, such as, a community can comprise one or more sector.In W-CDMA specification, each sector of base station and the coverage of this sector are called as a community.As used herein, term base station and term access point or Node B use interchangeably.Term travelling carriage and terms user equipment (UE), subscriber unit, subscriber station, access terminal, remote terminal or other known in this field corresponding terms use interchangeably.Term travelling carriage comprises fixing wireless application.
Depend on realized cdma system, each travelling carriage 106 can communicate on the forward link with (or perhaps more) base station 104 on any given time, and depend on whether this travelling carriage is in soft handover, can on reverse link with one or more base station communication.Forward link (that is, down link) refers to the transmission from base station to travelling carriage, and reverse link (that is, up link) refers to the transmission from travelling carriage to base station.
Although various embodiment described herein is all reverse link or forward link signal in order to be provided for supporting rl transmission, and some of them signal can be very suitable for the characteristic of rl transmission, it will be appreciated by one of skill in the art that, can be equipped with travelling carriage and base station as described herein like that to send data, and many aspects of the present invention are applicable equally in those scenarios.The word " demonstration " ad hoc used herein refers to " as example, example or an explanation ".Compared with other embodiments, saidly must not be considered to preferred for " demonstration " embodiment or have superiority.
1xEV-DV forward link data transmission and power of reverse link control
The such system 100 such as described in 1xEV-DV suggestion generally includes four class forward link channels: overhead channel, IS-95 and the IS-2000 channel dynamically changed, forward packet data channel (F-PDCH) and some alternate channels.Overhead channel assignments changes at leisure, and it may not change the several months.In time there is major networks configuration change, described overhead channel assignments is typically changed.IS-95 and the IS-2000 channel of dynamic change by based on each call distribution, or is used to the Packet Service of IS-95 or IS-2000 version 0 to B.Typically, after the channel of assignment overhead channel and dynamically change, remaining available base station power is assigned to F-PDCH, for remaining data service.F-PDCH may be used for the more insensitive data service of delay, and IS-2000 channel is used to postponing more responsive business.
F-PDCH, is similar to the Traffic Channel in IS-856 standard, is used to the user at every turn sent data to the highest supported data rate in each community.In IS-856, in time sending data to travelling carriage, the whole power of base station and the whole space of walsh function are available.But in the 1xEV-DV system proposed, some base station powers and some walsh functions are assigned to overhead channel and existing IS-95 and cdma 2000 business.Supported data rate mainly depends on that be available power and walsh code after expense, IS-95 and IS-2000 channel allocation power and walsh code.Use one or more walsh code to expand and transmit data on the f-pdch.
In 1xEV-DV suggestion, although a lot of user may at use Packet Service in one cell, base station is usually each on the f-pdch to a travelling carriage transmission.(by the transmission of two or more user scheduling with suitably distribute power and/or Walsh channel to each user, also can send to two or more users).Based on some dispatching algorithm, travelling carriage is selected for forward link transmissions.
Be similar in the system of IS-856 or 1xEV-DV at one, scheduling is based in part on from just in the channel-quality feedback of serviced travelling carriage.Such as, in IS-856, the quality of forward link estimated by travelling carriage, and calculating is the transmission rate that can maintain for current conditional expectation.Expected rate from each travelling carriage is sent to base station.Dispatching algorithm such as can select a travelling carriage for transmitting, and it supports relatively higher transmission rate, more effectively to use shared communication channel.As another example, in 1xEV-DV system, each travelling carriage sends carrier/interface ratio (C/I) and estimates as channel quality estimation in reverse channel quality indication channel or R-CQICH.Dispatching algorithm is used to determine selected travelling carriage for transmitting and suitable speed and transformat according to channel quality.
As mentioned above, wireless communication system 100 can support multiple user concurrent ground shared communication resource, such as IS-95 system, also can the communication resource that often sub-distribution is whole to a user, such as IS-856 system, or this communication resource can be assigned to allow two kinds of access types.1xEV-DV system is one and between two kinds of access types, divides the communication resource and dynamically distribute the example of the system of this assignment according to user's request.Here is brief background data, and how associated communication resource can divide the various users in the system being equipped with adaptation two kinds of access types.For by multiple user concurrent access, the such as channel of IS-95 type, describes power and controls.Access for by multiple user time-sharing, the only data division (that is, F-PDCH) of such as IS-856 system, or 1xEV-DV type system, discusses speed and determines and dispatch.
In the system that such as IS-95CDMA system is such, capacity determines partially by the interference sending a signal to users different in this system and produce from different user transmission signal in this system.A feature of typical cdma system is coding and modulation signal, for being sent to a travelling carriage or sending from a travelling carriage, makes described signal be considered as interference by other travelling carriage.Such as, on the forward link, the quality of the channel between base station and a travelling carriage is partly disturbed by other users and is determined.In order to keep the performance index with the expectation of this mobile communications, the transmitting power being exclusively used in this travelling carriage must be enough to overcome send to the power of other travelling carriages of being served by this base station and be subject in the channel other interference and degenerate.Therefore, in order to improve capacity, desirably launch the minimum power of needs to serviced each travelling carriage.
In typical cdma system, when multiple travelling carriage transmits to a base station time, desirably on this base station, receive multiple mobile station signal with standardized power level.Therefore, such as, power of reverse link control system can regulate the transmitting power from each travelling carriage, makes the signal from travelling carriage nearby can not overwhelm signal from distant place travelling carriage.As the situation of forward link, the transmitting power of each travelling carriage is kept to be in the Minimum Power Level of needs to maintain the performance index expected, capacity can be allowed to be optimised, and to also have other benefits of saving power, such as increase call and stand-by time, reduce battery requirement etc.
In the typical cdma system of such as IS-95, relative to other things, capacity is by other user's interference constraints.Other users interference can be alleviated by using power to control.The overall performance of system, comprises capacity, voice quality, message transmission rate and throughput and depends on base station, this base station any possible when with minimum power level with maintain expect performance index.In order to realize these, various power control techniques is known in the art.
One class technology comprises close-loop power control.Such as, close-loop power control can be adopted on the forward link.Such system can adopt inside and outside power control loop in a mobile station.External loop-around reception error rate determination target received power level desirably.Such as, the target frame error rate of 1% can be determined in advance as the error rate of expectation.This external loop-around can upgrade target received power level with relatively slow speed, and such as each frame or block are once.Responsively, then internal loop sends up or downlink power control message to base station, until received power meets this target.These inner loop power control commands relatively often occur, promptly to make the level that transmitting power meets the needs of, to obtain for the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (signal to noise and interference ratio) efficiently desired by communication.As mentioned above, with minimum level, emission power of forward link is kept for each base station, reduce visible other users interference on each travelling carriage, and allow to retain the use of the available transmitting power of residue for other objects.In the system of such as IS-95, the available transmitting power of this residue can be used for supporting and extra telex network.In the system of such as 1xEV-DV, the available transmitting power of this residue can be used for the throughput of the only data division supported extra user or improve this system.
In the system of such " only the data " of such as IS-856, or in " only data " part of the such system of such as 1xEV-DV, control loop can be adopted to control the transmission from base station to travelling carriage by (time-shared) mode of timesharing.For the sake of clarity, in discussion hereafter, can describe and be transferred to a travelling carriage at every turn.This will be different from Concurrency Access system, and one of them example is IS-95, or the various channels in cdma2000 or 1xEV-DV system.Just in time there are two points for attention in this.
The first, only clear in order to discuss, term " only data " or " data channel " are used to voice or the data channel (that is, the Concurrency Access channel using power to control, described above) of differentiation channel and IS-95 type.Only data described here or data channel can be used for the data sending any type, and comprise voice (such as, voice-over ip, or VOIP), this is apparent for those skilled in the art.Validity for any specific embodiment of specific data type can be determined partially by throughput demand, stand-by period demand etc.Those skilled in the art will adopt the various embodiments merging any one access type and selected parameter easily, to provide the stand-by period, throughput, service quality etc. of expecting rank.
The second, the only data division of system can be well-suited for more than one user and provide access on the forward link, and the only data division of this system is such as described for 1xEV-DV, and it is described to timesharing and uses the communication resource.In example herein, this communication resource is described to be timesharing, to provide in certain stage and a travelling carriage or telex network, those skilled in the art will easily adopt these examples, to allow within that time cycle time sharing transmissions to more than one travelling carriage or from more than one travelling carriage time sharing transmissions.
Typical data communication system can comprise one or more various types of channel.More particularly, usually one or more data channel is adopted.Although control signal can be included on a data channel in band, usually also adopt one or more control channel.Such as, in 1xEV-DV system, definition forward packet data control channel (F-PDCCH) and forward packet data channel (F-PDCH) are respectively used to transmit control and data on the forward link.
Fig. 2 describes the travelling carriage 106 of configuration and an example for base station 104 in the system 100 being suitable for data communication.Base station 104 is illustrated with travelling carriage 106 and communicates just on the forward and reverse links.Travelling carriage 106 receives forward link signal in receiving subsystem 220.The transmission forward data described in detail below and the base station 104 of control channel can be called as the service station of travelling carriage 106 herein.The example of a receiving subsystem is described in further detail relative to Fig. 3 below.In travelling carriage 106, carrier/interface ratio (C/I) is carried out for the forward link signal received from serving BS and estimates.C/I measurement is the example of the channel quality measures being used as channel estimating, and in the alternative embodiment, can adopt the channel quality measures of replacement.This C/I measurement is transmitted to the transmission subsystem 210 in base station 104, and one of them example is described in further detail relative to Fig. 3 below.
Transmission subsystem 210 transmits this C/I on reverse link and estimates, here it is transmitted to serving BS.Note, in the case of a soft handoff, known in this field, except serving BS, by one or more, this reverse link signal sent from travelling carriage can be called that the base station of non-serving base stations receives herein.Receiving subsystem 230 in base station 104 receives this C/I information from travelling carriage 106.
Scheduler 240 in base station 104 be used to determine data whether should with how to be sent to the one or more travelling carriages in the coverage of Serving cell.The dispatching algorithm of any type can be adopted within the scope of the invention.Example on February 11st, 1997 submit to, " METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FORWARD LINK RATESCHEDULING " by name, the U.S. Patent Application No. No.08/798 that transfers assignee of the present invention, open in 951.
In the 1xEV-DV embodiment of an example, when the C/I measurement designation data received from travelling carriage can be sent with certain speed time, this travelling carriage is selected for forward link transmissions.With regard to power system capacity, a target MS is selected to make shared communication resource be useful with its maximum supported speed use all the time.Therefore, selected typical target MS can be one of the C/I with maximum report.Other factor also can be incorporated into during scheduling determines.Such as, minimum quality of service guarantee can have been generated to different users.Perhaps be that the travelling carriage of the C/I with relatively low report is selected for transmission, with to that user data transfer rate minimally.
In the 1xEV-DV system of example, scheduler 240 is determined to which travelling carriage to transmit, and for the data rate of this transmission, modulation format and power level.In an alternative embodiment, in a such as IS-856 system, such as, can on a mobile station based on the channel quality measured on this travelling carriage, carry out the determination of supported speed/modulation format, and this transformat can replace C/I measurement to be sent to serving BS.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the countless combination that can adopt supported speed, modulation format, power level etc. within the scope of the invention.In addition, although in various embodiments described here, scheduler task performs in a base station, and in the alternative embodiment, the some or all of this scheduling process can occur in a mobile station.
Scheduler 240 uses selected speed, modulation format, power level etc. to guide transmission subsystem 250 to transmit to selected travelling carriage on the forward link.
In this example embodiment, the message on control channel or F-PDCCH is sent by together with the data on data channel or F-PDCH.Control channel can be used for the recipient's travelling carriage identifying data on the f-pdch, and other the useful messaging parameters during being identified in communication session.When F-PDCCH indicates a travelling carriage to be the target of transmission time, this travelling carriage should receive and demodulate data from F-PDCH.This travelling carriage responds a message on reverse link with receiving such data, and this message indicates this transmission success or failure.Known retransmission technique is in this field adopted at large in data communication system.
Travelling carriage can with more than one base station communication, condition is called as soft handover.Soft handover can comprise the multiple sectors from a base station (or a BTS under CROS environment (BTS)), is called as More Soft Handoff (softer handoff), and has the sector from multiple BTS.Base station section is in soft-handoff stored in the active set of travelling carriage usually.At concurrent shared CRS, in the appropriate section of such as IS-95, IS-2000 or 1xEV-DV system, the forward link signal sent from all sectors in active set can merge by travelling carriage.In the system of only data, in the appropriate section of such as IS-856 or 1xEV-DV system, travelling carriage receives forward link data signal from the base station of active set, described base station is serving BS (determines according to mobile station in selecting algorithm, such as describe in C.S0002.C standard).Other forward link signal also can receive from non-serving base stations, and wherein example will be described in further detail below.
The reverse link signal from this travelling carriage can be received on multiple base station, and for base station in the active set, usually keep the quality of reverse link.May be incorporated in the reverse link signal that multiple base station receives.Usually, soft merging, is not therefore supported needs very large network communication bandwidth and very little delay it in example system listed above from the reverse link signal of the base station of non-configuration.In More Soft Handoff, the reverse link signal received in multiple sectors of single BTS can be merged without the need to network signal.Although the reverse link signal of any type can be adopted within the scope of the invention to merge, in above-mentioned example system, power of reverse link controls to keep quality, makes reverse link frame successfully be decoded (switched diversity) by a BTS.
At concurrent shared CRS, in the appropriate section of such as IS-95, IS-2000 or 1xEV-DV system, with travelling carriage soft handover in (namely, in the active set of this travelling carriage) the reverse-link pilot frequency quality of each that travelling carriage of base station measurement, and send power control command stream.In IS-95 or IS-2000 Rev.B, if forward fundamental channel (F-FCH) and Forward Dedicated Control Channel (F-DCCH) both one of be assigned with, each command stream is by this forward fundamental channel (F-FCH) or the upper punching (pucture) of Forward Dedicated Control Channel (F-DCCH).Command stream for travelling carriage is referred to as the Forward Power Control Subchannel (F-PCSCH) of that travelling carriage.Travelling carriage receives parallel command stream (from multiple sectors of a BTS from the Active Set member of these travelling carriages all for each base station, if all in the active set of this travelling carriage, then send identical order to that travelling carriage), and determine whether that one " up " or " descending " order is sent out.Accordingly, this travelling carriage uses " about descending otherwise (Or-of-downs) " rule changes this reverse link transmit power level, that is, if receive any " descending " order, this transmitted power level is lowered, otherwise is raised.
The transmitted power level of F-PCSCH typically depends on the level of main F-FCH or F-DCCH carrying this subchannel.Main F-FCH or F-DCCH transmitted power level on base station determines from the feedback of travelling carriage by reverse power control subchannel (R-PCSCH), and it occupies last 1/4th of Reverse Pilot Channel (R-PICH).Owing to forming single traffic channel frame stream from F-FCH or F-DCCH of each base station, R-PCSCH reports the decoded result that these branch roads merge.The erasure (erasures) of F-FCH or F-DCCH determines the Eb/Nt set point that external loop-around needs, it drives internal loop order subsequently on R-PCSCH, and thus the level of F-FCH, F-DCCH and F-PCSCH is transmitted in base station on them.
Due to the electrical potential difference in soft-handoff in from single mobile station to the reverse link path loss of each base station, some base stations in active set reliably can not receive R-PCSCH, and can not the forward link power of correctly control F-FCH, F-DCCH and F-PCSCH.Base station may need to readjust launching electrical level among himself, so that travelling carriage retains the space diversity gain of soft handover.Otherwise due to from the mistake in the feedback of travelling carriage, some forward link branch roads almost may not carry conversation signal energy.
Because different base stations may need different transmission power of mobile station for identical reverse link set point or the quality of reception, this power control command therefore from different base stations may be different, and can not by soft merging on MS.When new member be added to active set (that is, never soft handover to 1 road soft handover, or from 1 road to 2 tunnels etc.) time, F-PCSCH transmitting power is improved by relative to its main F-FCH or F-DCCH.This may be because the latter has both larger space diversity (total Eb/Nt of needs is less) and load-sharing (load sharing) (energy that each branch road is less), and the former does not have.
Comparatively speaking, in 1xEV-DV system, without the need to forward fundamental channel (F-FCH) or Forward Dedicated Control Channel (F-DCCH), Forward Common Power Control Channel (F-CPCCH) transmits the power of reverse link control command being used for travelling carriage.In the earlier version of 1xEV-DV suggestion, suppose that the station transmission power level of F-CPCCH is determined by the reverse channel quality indication channel received from travelling carriage (R-CQICH).This R-CQICH can use in scheduling, to measure in response to forward link channel quality, determines suitable forward link transmissions form and speed.
But when travelling carriage is in soft handover time, the forward link pilot quality of R-CQICH only report services base station section, therefore, directly can not control the F-CPCCH from non-serving base stations for power.For this technology on February 12nd, 2002 apply for, transfer assignee of the present invention, the U.S. Patent Application No. No.60/356 of by name " Method and Apparatus for Forward LinkPower Control During Soft Handoff in a Communication System ", open in 929.

the design considerations of 1xEV-DV reverse link
In this section, the various factors considered in the design of the example embodiment of the reverse link at wireless communication system is described.In the many embodiments be described in further detail hereinafter, employ the signal relevant with 1xEV-DV standard, parameter and process.This standard is only be illustrative object and describing, and each aspect described herein and its combination can be applied to many communication systems within the scope of the present invention.Although this part is not very detailed, this part plays the part summary of various aspects of the present invention.Be described in further detail example embodiment in further part below, which describe additional aspect.
Under many circumstances, reverse chain-circuit capacity is disturbed restriction.Base station assigns can reverse link communication resources effectively utilize to travelling carriage, carry out maximize throughput with service quality (QoS) demand according to different travelling carriages.
The use maximizing reverse link communication resources is relevant with some factors.A factor considering is the mixing of the rl transmission from different mobile stations of scheduling, and wherein each rl transmission above at any given time may experience the channel quality changed.In order to improve overall throughput (summary data sent by all travelling carriages in the cell), desirably whenever there is the reverse link data that will send, whole reverse link is fully used.In order to meet this available capacity, travelling carriage can be authorized to the flank speed access can supported with it, and additional travelling carriage can be authorized to access until reach capacity.Base station admissible factor in the process judging to go to dispatch which travelling carriage is, the maximum rate that each travelling carriage can be supported and the data volume that each travelling carriage will send.Can select there is the travelling carriage of higher throughput to replace its channel not support the replacement travelling carriage of higher throughput.
Another factor considered is the service quality that each travelling carriage needs.Although it is admissible for entertaining hope that this channel will improve and postponing access travelling carriage, select to replace the moderate travelling carriage of selection one, it may be the secondary good travelling carriages needing authorized access, to meet minimum quality of service guarantee.Therefore, the data throughout dispatched may not be definitely maximum, but considers channel status, available transmission power of mobile station and demand for services substantially.Signal to noise ratio for selected mixing is desirably reduced for arbitrary disposition.
Various scheduling mechanism being described below, sending data on reverse link for allowing travelling carriage.The travelling carriage that comprises of one class rl transmission carries out asking to send on this reverse link.Base station determines whether that resource can be used for adapting to this request.One can be produced authorize to allow this transmission.Before reverse link data can be sent out, this shaking hands between travelling carriage and base station introduces delay.For the reverse link data of some classification, this delay is acceptable.Other classifications can be more responsive to delay, and detailed description is used for the replacement technology of rl transmission to alleviate delay below.
In addition, reverse link resources is consumed the request producing transmission, and forward link resources is consumed to respond this request, that is, send and authorize.When the channel quality of travelling carriage is low, that is, low geometry or deep fading, the power this forward link reached required for this travelling carriage may be relatively high.Detail various technology below, to reduce request needed for reverse link data transmission and the number of mandate or the transmitting power of needs.
In order to avoid the delay introduced of being shaken hands by request/mandate, and save the forward direction and reverse link resources of supporting that they need, a kind of rl transmission pattern of autonomy is supported.Ask without the need to carrying out or wait for mandate, travelling carriage can send data on reverse link with limited speed.
A part for reverse chain-circuit capacity is distributed to one or more travelling carriage by base station.The travelling carriage of authorized access is provided maximal power level.In the example embodiment described herein, by use traffic carrying capacity pilot tone (T/P) than distributing this reverse link resources.Because the pilot signal of each travelling carriage controls to control via power adaptively, specify this T/P than indicating for the available horsepower at this reverse link transmitting data.Base station can produce and specifically license to one or more travelling carriage, and instruction is exclusively used in the T/P value of each travelling carriage.Base station can also produce a public remaining travelling carriage licensing to request access, the maximum T/P value that instruction allows those remaining travelling carriages to send.Be described in further detail below autonomous with transmission that is scheduling and independent and public mandate.
Various dispatching algorithm is known in this field, and more need exploitation, its can be used for the number of the travelling carriage according to registration, the possibility of carrying out autonomous transmission by travelling carriage, the number of request do not completed and size, to authorize the average response expected and many other because usually determining the various specific and public T/P value for mandate.In one example in which, select based on QoS priority, efficiency and the accessible throughput of travelling carriage group from request.The dispatching technique of example on January 13rd, 2003 apply for, " SYSTEM ANDMETHOD FOR A TIME-SCALABLE PRIORITY-BASEDSCHEDULER " by name, transfer the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.60/439 of the CO-PENDING of assignee of the present invention, open in 989.Other reference comprises United States Patent (USP) 5,914,950, " METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REVERSE LINKRATE SCHEDULING " by name, with United States Patent (USP) 5,923,650, also " METHODAND APPARATUS FOR REVERSE LINK RATE SCHEDULING " by name, assignee of the present invention is both transferred.
Travelling carriage can use one or more subgroup to send a packet, here each subgroup comprises complete grouping information (each subgroup there is no need to be encoded, because run through different subgroups can adopt different codings or redundancy by just the same).Retransmission technique can be adopted to guarantee reliable transmission, such as ARQ.Therefore, if first subgroup free of errors (is such as used CRC) and is received, a positive acknowledgement (ACK) is sent to this travelling carriage, and by do not send other subgroup (recall, each subgroup in one form or another kind of form comprise complete grouping information).If first subgroup is not correctly received, so, a nack signal (NAK) is sent to this travelling carriage, and second subgroup will be sent out.This base station can merge the energy of two subgroups, and attempts decoding.This processing procedure can boundlessly be repeated, although typically refer to the maximum number of stator grouping.In the example embodiment described herein, maximum four subgroups can be sent.Because have received extra subgroup, therefore improve the correct probability received.(note, the 3rd the response ACK from base station asks/authorizes expense with continuing to be of value to reduce.Be described in further detail below this option).
As just now described, travelling carriage was judging whether to use autonomous transmission to send data with low latency or ask higher speed rates and wait in public or specific mandate, the throughput of stand-by period of can trading off.In addition, for given T/P, this travelling carriage can select a data rate to adapt to stand-by period or throughput.Such as, the travelling carriage with relatively few bit for transmission can judge that the low stand-by period is desired.For available T/P (in this example, perhaps this autonomy transmission maximum, but can also be specific or public mandate T/P), this travelling carriage can select speed and modulation format, makes this base station correctly receive the probability of first subgroup very high.Although it is available for retransmitting if desired, probably this travelling carriage can send its data bit in a subgroup.In the example embodiment described herein, each subgroup is sent by 5ms.Therefore, in this example, travelling carriage can carry out quick, autonomous transmission, probably receives after Shang5ms interval, base station.As selection, note, this travelling carriage can utilize the utilizability of additional subgroup, to improve the data volume sent for given T/P.Therefore, travelling carriage can select autonomous transmission to reduce with request and to authorize the relevant stand-by period, and can exchange specific T/P for throughput in addition, to minimize the number (thus minimizing latency) of the subgroup of needs.Even if whole numbers of chooser grouping, compare with mandate with the request transmitted for relatively little data, autonomous transmission will be the lower stand-by period.It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that, when the data volume that will send increases, need multiple grouping for transmitting, can by being switched to request and grant format reduction overall latency, because the unfavorable result of this request and mandate is by finally by the throughput of the increase of the higher data rate in multiple grouping is offseted.To the example group of a transmission rate and form be utilized to be described in further detail this process below, transmission rate and form can distribute relevant from different T/P.
Travelling carriage is in the position of change in this community, and moves the channel status of experience change with the speed of change.Power controls to be used to keep reverse link signal.The pilot power that base station receives can be controlled as being approximately equalised from different travelling carriages by power.So, as mentioned above, this T/P is than the designator being the amount of communications resources that uses during rl transmission.For given transmission power of mobile station, transmission rate and modulation format, desirably between pilot tone and the traffic, keep suitable balance.
Travelling carriage can have limited amount available transmitting power.Therefore, such as, traffic rate can be limit by the maximum power of this travelling carriage power amplifier.Transmission power of mobile station also can use power to control and various data transmission scheduling technical controlling, to avoid the interference too much with other travelling carriage by this base station.Available transmission power of mobile station amount will be assigned with to send one or more pilot channel, one or more data channel, and any other relevant control channel.In order to improve data throughout, can by reducing encoding rate, improving symbol rate or using higher order modulation schemes to improve transmission rate.Actual, relevant pilot channel must be received reliably, and thinks that demodulation provides phase reference.Therefore, a part for this available transmitting power is assigned to this pilot tone, and increases that part and will improve the reliability of pilot reception.But, increase the amount that the part distributing to the available launch power of pilot tone also reduces the available horsepower for transfer of data, and the part that the available launch power of these data is distributed in increase also improves demodulation reliability.For given T/P, a suitable modulation format and transmission rate can be determined.
Due to the change in data transportation requirements, and this reverse link of discontinuous distribution is to travelling carriage, and the transmission rate of travelling carriage may change rapidly.As just now described, for transmission rate and form, therefore the pilot power level expected can change instantaneously.Without the need to the priori of rate variation (when the flexibility of the signaling of a high price in not scheduling or reduction, it can be expect), power control loop can be attempted to hinder the sudden change in the power that receives on this base station, perhaps disturbs the decoding starting to divide into groups.Similarly, in controlling at power, normally adopt the step-length increased progressively, once transmission rate and form are lowered, spend the relatively long time to go to reduce pilot tone possibly.A kind of technology resisting the phenomenon (being described in further detail below) of these and other adopts auxiliary pilot except dominant pilot.Dominant pilot may be used for the channel that power controls and demodulation is all, comprises the data channel of control channel and low rate.When the data rate for higher level modulation or raising needs additional pilot power time, additional pilot power can be sent by auxiliary pilot.The power of this auxiliary pilot can be determined relative to the pilot power increased progressively needed for dominant pilot and selected transmission.This base station can receive two pilot tones, merges them, and uses them to determine phase place and the amplitude information of demodulation business.In auxiliary pilot moment raising or reduce not interference power control.
As just now described, by utilizing a communication channel adopted, the example embodiment be described in further detail below achieved the benefit of auxiliary pilot.Therefore, capacity is enhanced usually, is partly that except needs perform pilot tone function, the information sent on the communication channel needs the capacity added hardly because desired working range.As known in this field, pilot signal is useful for demodulation, because it is a known array, thus, the phase place of signal and amplitude can be derived for demodulation from pilot frequency sequence.But, send pilot tone and do not carry data and expend reverse chain-circuit capacity.Therefore, unknown data are above modulated by " auxiliary pilot ", thus the sequence of this unknown must be determined, to extract the information that can be used for service signal demodulation.In an example embodiment, Reverse Rate Indicator Channel (R-RICH) is used to provide reverse rate (RRI), and described reverse rate is the speed relevant with transmission on the r-sch.In addition, regulate R-RICH power according to pilot power requirement, it can be used to provide auxiliary pilot by this base station.This RRI is one that helps to determine the known numeric value set of the unknown component of R-RICH channel.In an alternative embodiment, any channel can be changed to as auxiliary pilot.Be described in further detail below this technology.
reverse link data transmission
Reverse link usually and forward link have a great difference.Here is some reasons: on the forward link, and additional power be spent to transmit from multiple community--on reverse link, receive the amount reducing the transmitting power of needs from more community.On reverse link, multiple antenna is always had at receiving mobile.This can alleviate some often appearance significant declines on the forward link.
When this travelling carriage is in the position, forntier region between multiple community time, forward link Ec/Io will change significantly due to the decline of other communities.On reverse link, the change in interference is not significant, because any change is all due to the change in the summation of the received power of all travelling carriages that forward and reverse link sends, and, all being controlled by power of all reverse links.
Travelling carriage is power limited on reverse link.Thus depend on channel status, this travelling carriage may can not send with very high speed sometimes.
Travelling carriage may not receive forward link from the base station of the rl transmission receiving this travelling carriage.Therefore, if this travelling carriage relies on the signalling from single base station, such as, a confirmation, so the reliability of that signaling may be low.
A target of reverse link design, as long as there is the reverse link data that will send, on base station, just keeps relatively-stationary rise over thermal (Rise-over-Thermal, RoT).Transmission in reverse-link data channel is with two kinds of different mode process:
Autonomous transmission: this situation is for needing the business of low delay.Travelling carriage is allowed to send immediately, until certain transmission rate determined by serving BS (that is, this travelling carriage transmits this base station of its CQI (CQI)).Serving BS is also referred to as scheduling base station or authorized base station.Transmission rate for the maximum permission of autonomy transmission dynamically can be signaled based on system load, obstruction etc. by this serving BS.
Scheduled transmission: travelling carriage sends the estimation of its buffer sizes, available horsepower and other parameters.Base station determines when to allow this travelling carriage to be sent out.The target of scheduler limits the number simultaneously transmitted, thus reduce interference between the mobile station.This scheduler may be attempted the travelling carriage in region is between cells sent with lower speed; to reduce the interference of adjacent cell, and tightly control RoT with the voice quality of protection on R-FCH, DV feedback on the r-cqich and the stability confirming (R-ACKCH) and this system.
The various embodiments described in detail herein comprise one or more feature, and described one or more feature is designed to the overall system performance of the reverse link improving throughput, capacity and wireless communication system.Just to illustrative object, describe the data division of 1xEV-DV system, especially describe different travelling carriages in the optimization strengthening the transmission on reverse complemental channel (R-ESCH).Detail the various forward direction and reverse chain channel that use in one or more example embodiment in this section.The subset of the channel that these channels normally use in a communications system.
Fig. 4 describes the embodiment being used for the data of Reverse link data communication and the demonstration of control signal.Travelling carriage 106 is illustrated and communicates on a different channel, and each channel is connected to one or more base station 104A-104C.Base station 104A is noted as scheduling base station.Other base stations 104B and 104C is a part for the active set of travelling carriage 106.Show the reverse link signal of Four types and the forward link signal of two types.It is as described below.
R-REQCH
Travelling carriage uses reverse request channel (R-REQCH) to come from scheduling base station request reverse link data transmission.In the exemplary embodiment, request is for above transmitting at R-ESCH (being described in further detail below).In the exemplary embodiment, the request on R-REQCH comprises T/P ratio that this travelling carriage can support, according to the variable of the channel status of change and buffer sizes (that is, waiting data volume waiting for transmission).This request can also specify the service quality (QoS) of data waiting for transmission such as being used for.Note, travelling carriage can have the QoS rank of single appointment for this travelling carriage, or selectively, for the different QoS rank of different data types.The agreement of higher level can indicate QoS, or the parameter (such as, stand-by period or throughput demand) of other expectation for different data services.In an alternative embodiment, the Reverse Dedicated Control Channel (R-DCCH) that other reverse link signal that such as Reverse Fundamental Channel (R-FCH) (such as speech business) is such use together, can be used for carrying access request.Usually, access request can be described to comprise a logic channel, that is, back scheduling request channels (R-SRCH), and it can be mapped on any existing physical channel, such as R-DCCH.This example embodiment is to the so existing cdma system back compatible of such as cdma2000, and R-REQCH is a physical channel that can adopt when not having R-FCH or R-DCCH.In order to clear, term R-REQCH is used to be described in the access request channel in embodiment description herein, although those skilled in the art will easily expand the access request system of this principle to any type, no matter this access request channel is logic or physics.R-REQCH can be disconnected until need a request, thus reduces interference and save power system capacity.
In the exemplary embodiment, R-REQCH has 12 input bits, and it is made up of following: 4 bits are to the maximum R-ESCH T/P ratio of specifying this travelling carriage to support, 4 bits to the data volume in the buffer specifying in this travelling carriage and 4 bits to specify QoS.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that many bits and other field various can be included in the alternative embodiment.
F-GCH
Forward direction authorization channel (F-GCH) is sent to travelling carriage by from scheduling base station.F-GCH can be made up of multiple channel.In the exemplary embodiment, public F-GCH channel is used to carry out public mandate, and one or more independent F-GCH channel is used to authorize separately.Mandate is carried out in response to from the one or more requests of one or more travelling carriage on its corresponding R-REQCH by scheduling base station.Authorization channel can be noted as GCH
x, this subscript x indicator channel numbering here.Channel number 0 can be used for indicating public authorization channel.If adopt N number of individual channel, subscript x can be the scope from 1 to N.
Can authorize separately one or more travelling carriage, wherein each travelling carriage provides license to identified travelling carriage, on the r-esch with the T/P specified ratio or to send below.Carry out mandate on the forward link and naturally will introduce expense, it uses the capacity of some forward links.Detail herein for the various options alleviated with authorize relevant expense, according to said herein, other option will be apparent for those skilled in the art.
A consideration is that travelling carriage will be located, and makes each travelling carriage experience the channel quality of change.Therefore, such as, the forward direction had may need relative low power for authorization signal with the travelling carriage of the high geometry of reverse chain channel, and may can utilize high data rate, desirably uses one thus and authorizes separately.The travelling carriage of low geometry, or an experience may need significantly more power to go reliably to receive a mandate separately compared with the travelling carriage of deep fade.Such travelling carriage may not be best suited in independent mandate.Public mandate for this travelling carriage described in detail below may less be wasted in forward link expense.
In the exemplary embodiment, adopt many independent F-GCH channels to provide the independent mandate of respective number on the specific time.F-GCH channel is by code division multiplex.This is convenient to can just to arrive the power level of travelling carriage needs that this is specifically wanted to send each mandate.In an alternative embodiment, the single independent authorization channel that can adopt, single authorization number is by time division multiplexing simultaneously.In order to the power changing each mandate on the independent F-GCH of time division multiplexing may introduce extra complexity.Any signaling technology for transmitting public or independent mandate can be adopted within the scope of the present invention.
In certain embodiments, adopt relatively a large amount of independent authorization channels (that is, F-GCH), such employing may be to allow once relatively a large amount of independent mandates.In this case, desired may be the number limiting the independent authorization channel that each travelling carriage must monitor.In an example embodiment, each subset of the sum of independent authorization channel is defined.The subset that each travelling carriage is assigned with independent authorization channel goes to monitor.This allows this travelling carriage to reduce process complexity, and correspondingly reduces power consumption.This balance is in dispatching flexibility, because scheduling base station can not at random distribute independent mandate (such as, all independent mandates can not be carried out to the member of single group because those members according to design do not monitor one or more independent authorization channel) set.Note, the loss of flexibility not necessarily causes capacitance loss.In order to illustrate, consider the example comprising four independent authorization channels.The travelling carriage of even number can be assigned with and monitor beginning two authorization channels, and the travelling carriage of odd number can be assigned with last two authorization channels of supervision.In another example, this subset can have overlap, and the travelling carriage of such as even number monitors three initial authorization channels, and the travelling carriage of odd number monitors three last authorization channels.Clearly, scheduling base station at random can not distribute four travelling carriages from any one group (even number or odd number).These examples are only illustrative.Many channels with any configuration of subset can be adopted within the scope of the present invention.
But carried out asking not receive the remaining travelling carriage of authorizing separately and can be presented license, use public mandate to send on the r-esch, maximum T/P ratio is specified in this public mandate, and each of remaining travelling carriage must observe this maximum T/P ratio.Public F-GCH also can be called as the public authorization channel of forward direction (F-CGCH).Travelling carriage monitors one or more independent authorization channel (or its subset) and public F-GCH.Unless provided one to authorize separately, public mandate is issued else if, just this travelling carriage can send.Public mandate indicates maximum T/P ratio, and remaining travelling carriage (public mandate travelling carriage) can send the data with certain type QoS thereon.
In the exemplary embodiment, each public mandate is effective for many sub-packet transmission intervals.Once receive public mandate, but having sent request the travelling carriage not obtaining authorizing separately can start to send one or more encoder packet in follow-up transmission intercal.This authorization message can be repeated quickly and easily as many times as required.This allows this public mandate by independent mandate sends with the power level reduced relative to one.Each travelling carriage can merge from multiplex energy, with this public mandate of reliably decoding.Therefore, public mandate can be selected for the travelling carriage with low geometry, such as, wherein authorizes separately and is considered to waste very much with regard to the capacity of forward link.But public mandate still needs expense, and detail the various technology for reducing this expense below.
F-GCH sends to each travelling carriage by base station, and described each travelling carriage is divided into groups for the R-ESCH that transmission one is new by this base station scheduling.Under congestion control becomes necessary information, in transmission or retransmit encoder packet and change in its process for the T/P ratio of the transmission of the follow-up subgroup of encoder packet to force travelling carriage, F-GCH also can be sent out.
Described in detail below is the example of sequential, comprises the various embodiments of the demand of the correlation of the mandate with access request and any one (independent or public) type.In addition, detail below for reducing authorization number and thus reduce relevant expense and the technology for congestion control.
In the exemplary embodiment, this public mandate is made up of 12 bits, comprises 3 bit type field to specify the form of 9 follow-up bits.The T/P ratio of the maximum permission of travelling carriage of 3 classifications that remaining bit instruction is specified in type field, 3 bits represent the T/P ratio of the maximum permission of each classification.Mobile Station Class can based on the grade of service (GOS) demand or other criterion.Other public grant format various can be predicted, and be apparent for this area those skilled in the art.
In the exemplary embodiment, authorize separately for one and comprise 12 bits, comprise: 11 bits are used to specify authorized the travelling carriage ID of this travelling carriage and the T/P ratio of maximum permission that go transmission, or be used for signaling to this travelling carriage with the T/P ratio changing its maximum permission clearly, comprising the T/P ratio arranging this maximum permission is 0 (that is, telling that this travelling carriage does not send R-ESCH).The plurality of bit specifies the T/P (1 in 10 values) of travelling carriage ID (1 in 192 values) for the travelling carriage of specifying and maximum permission.In an alternative embodiment, can arrange 1 long mandate (long-grant) bit for the travelling carriage of specifying.When this length authorizes bit to be set to 1 time, this travelling carriage is authorized to permit to send on that ARQ channel relatively large grouping that is fixing, predetermined quantity (it can be utilized signaling to upgrade).If this length authorizes bit to be set to 0, this travelling carriage is authorized to send a grouping.Travelling carriage notifiedly can be closed its R-ESCH with the T/P for 0 than appointment and be transmitted, this can be used to signal to close its transmission on the r-esch to travelling carriage, if bit is authorized to be closed long, then close the single sub-packet transmission continuing single grouping, authorize bit to be open if long, then close and continue the longer cycle.
R-PICH
Reverse Pilot Channel (R-PICH) is by the base station sent to from travelling carriage in the active set.Can control for power of reverse link by the power measured in R-PICH on one or more base station.As known in this field, pilot signal can be used for providing amplitude and phase measurement for coherent demodulation.As mentioned above, the amount (restriction of scheduled base station or the restriction by the inherent limitations of the power amplifier of travelling carriage) for the available transmitting power of travelling carriage is decomposed by among pilot channel, a Traffic Channel or multiple Traffic Channel and control channel.Extra pilot power may be needed for higher data rate and modulation format.In order to simplify the use of R-PICH controlled for power, with in order to avoid some problem relevant with instantaneous variation in the pilot power needed, an additional channel can be assigned with to be used as the pilot tone of supplementing or assisting.Although disclosed in herein, usual pilot signal is used known data sequence transmission, can also adopt an information carrying signal, for producing the reference information being used for demodulation.In an example embodiment, R-RICH (describing in detail below) is for carrying the additional pilot power of expectation.
R-RICH
Reverse Rate Indicator Channel (R-RICH) is used by travelling carriage, to indicate the transformat on reverse traffic channel R-ESCH.R-RICH comprises 5 bit message.Each 5 bit input sequence are mapped to 32 symbol orthogonal sequences by orthogonal encoder module.Such as, each 5 bit input sequence can be mapped to the different walsh code that length is 32.Sequence replicated blocks repeat the sequence three times of 32 incoming symbols.Bit repetition block provides on its output by this input bit of repetition 96 times.Sequence selection device module is selected between two inputs, and that input is passed to output.For zero-speed rate, the output of this bit repetition block is by whole transmission.For every other speed, the output of these sequence replicated blocks is by whole transmission.An input bit 0 is mapped to+1 by signaling point mapping block, and an input bit 1 is mapped to-1.Walsh expansion module after this signaling point mapping block.Each incoming symbol is expanded to 64 chips by this Walsh expansion module.Each incoming symbol is multiplied by a walsh code W (48,64).Walsh code W (48,64) is length be 64 chips and index is the walsh code of 48.TIA/EIA IS-2000 provides the table describing various length walsh codes.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that this channel architecture is only an example.Can adopt in the alternative embodiment various other coding, repetition, intertexture, signaling point map or walsh codes parameter.Also known additional code or formatting technique in this field can be adopted.These amendments fall within the scope of the present invention.
R-ESCH
Strengthen reverse complemental channel (R-ESCH) in the example embodiment described herein and be used as reverse link traffic data channel.Transmission rate and modulation format can be adopted for R-ESCH.In an example embodiment, R-ESCH has following characteristic: support physical layer retransmission.For the re-transmission when the first coding is 1/4 rate code time, this re-transmission uses 1/4 rate code, and catches up with merging (Chase combining) and used.For when the first coding is the speed being greater than 1/4 time, use the redundancy increased progressively.Preferential coding is 1/5 bit rate.As selection, the redundancy increased progressively also may be used for all situations.
Autonomous both supports mixed spin system (HARQ) with the user of scheduling, wherein both can access R-ESCH.
Be the situation of 1/2 rate code for the first coding, this frame is encoded as 1/4 rate code, and the symbol of this coding to be divided equally be two parts.The first half of symbol is sent by the first transmission, and the second half are sent by the second transmission, then the first half is sent etc. by the 3rd transmission.
Utilize sequential fixing between retransmitting can support that multiple ARQ channel synchronization operates: the subgroup that can allow fixed qty between the continuous subdata grouping of identical packet.Also alternately (interlaced) transmission is allowed.As an example, for 5ms frame, 4 channel ARQ can be supported with the sub-packetization delay of 3 between subgroup.
The data rate for the example strengthening reverse complemental channel listed by table 1.Describe the subgroup size of 5ms, and adjoint channel is designed to adapt to this selection.As it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that, other subgroup size also can be selected.Pilot frequency benchmark level does not regulate for these channels, that is, selecting T/P to aim on a given working point, base station has flexibility.This maximum T/P value is signaled by forward direction authorization channel.If the power for sending used up by travelling carriage, so this travelling carriage can use lower T/P, makes HARQ meet required QoS.3rd layer signaling message also can send on the r-esch, allows this system to go operation without the need to FCH/DCCH.
In an example embodiment, turbo coding is used to all speed.Utilize R=1/4 to encode, use an interleaver being similar to current cdma 2000 reverse link, and if second subgroup is sent out, it has the form identical with first subgroup.R=1/5 is utilized to encode, use an interleaver being similar to cdma 2000 forward packet data channel, and if second subgroup is sent out, selected to follow after selected those for first subgroup for the coding of second subgroup and the symbol sebolic addressing of intertexture.Maximum permission two sub-packet transmission, and if send second subgroup, it uses the data rate identical with first sub-packet transmission.
The number of the bit of each encoder packet comprises CRC bit and 6 tail bits.For the encoder packet size of 192 bits, use 12 bit CRC; Otherwise, use 16 bit CRC.The number that each frame has an information bit is than many 2 of cdma 2000 respective rate.Be assumed to be the time slot being divided out 5ms by 15ms, the time responded to allow ACK/NAK.If receive ACK, the remaining time slot of this grouping does not transmit.
The 5ms sub-packet duration just described and relevant parameter are only as an example.According to said herein, many combinations of speed, form, subgroup recurrence option, sub-packet duration etc. will be apparent to those skilled in the art.A 10ms embodiment using the replacement of 3 ARQ channels can be adopted.In one embodiment, single sub-packet duration or frame length is selected.Such as, the structure of 5ms or 10ms will be selected.In an alternative embodiment, a system can support multiple frame duration.
F-CACKCH
The public acknowledgement channel of forward direction or F-CACKCH is used, to confirm correctly to receive R-ESCH and go expansion existing mandate by base station.Confirmation (ACK) instruction on F-CACKCH is correct receives a subgroup.Just need not again by this that subgroup of travelling carriage additional transmissions.Negative Acknowledgement (NAK) on F-CACKCH allows this travelling carriage to go to send next subgroup, until the maximum number of the subgroup of each packet permission.3rd order ACK and continuation (ACK-and-Continue) allow this base station to go to confirm successfully to receive a packet, and allow the use of this travelling carriage to cause this mandate successfully receiving packet to go to send simultaneously.An embodiment of F-CACKCH uses+1 value for ACK symbol, uses NULL symbol for NAK symbol, and uses-1 value for ACK and go on symbol.In the various example embodiment be described in further detail below, can support up to 96 travelling carriage ID on a F-CACKCH.Additional F-CACKCH can be adopted to support extra travelling carriage ID.
On F-CACKCH, on-off keying (on-off keying) (namely, do not send NAK) allow base station (particularly non-scheduled base station) when send the expending of ACK (power of needs) too high time, can select not send ACK.This provides a compromise proposal between forward link and the capacity of reverse link to base station, because the grouping of the correct reception be not identified is by likely trigger re-transmissions on time point after a while.
Hadamard (Hadamard) encoder be one for being mapped to the example of the encoder on one group of orthogonal function.Also other technology various can be adopted.Such as, any walsh code or Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor OVSF (OVSF) code generate and can be used for coding.If adopt independently gain module, different users can be sent to different power levels.F-CACKCH is that each user transmits special three value marks.Each user monitors the F-ACKCH from all base stations in its active set (or as selection, signaling can define an active set reduced to reduce complexity).
In various embodiments, two channels are each is covered by the Walsh sequence coverage of 128 chips.A channel is sent on the i channel, and one other channel is sent by Q channel.Another embodiment of F-CACKCH uses single 128 chip Walsh sequence coverages (Walsh cover sequence), to support up to 192 travelling carriages simultaneously.This method uses the 10ms duration for each three value marks.
There is the method for some operation ack channels.In one embodiment, can operate and make for an ACK, " 1 " is sent out.Without the implicit NAK of transmission, or "Off" state.One "-1 " transmission refers to ACK and continuation, that is, identical mandate is repeated to this travelling carriage.This saves the expense of new authorization channel.
Recall, when travelling carriage have one need use R-ESCH send grouping time, it sends request on R-REQCH.Base station can use F-CGCH or F-GCH to respond with a mandate.But this operation cost is higher a little.In order to reduce forward link expense, F-CACKCH can send " ACK and continuation " marks, and it expands existing mandate by scheduling base station with low cost.This method is used for independent and public mandate.ACK and continuation are used by from authorized base station, and expand current mandate for the encoder packet of more than 1 on identical ARQ channel.
Noting, as shown in Figure 4, is not that each base station in the active set needs to beam back F-CACKCH.The group of base stations sending F-CACKCH in soft-handoff can be the subset of active set.Submit on June 30th, 2003 for the example technique that sends F-CACKCH, " CODE DIVISION MULTIPLEXING COMMANDS ON A CODEDIVISION MULITIPLEXED CHANNEL " by name, transfer the U.S. Patent Application No. No.10/611 of the CO-PENDING of assignee of the present invention, open in 333.
example embodiment and sequential chart
In order to summarize the various features of above introduction, travelling carriage is authorized to carry out autonomy transmission, although be perhaps restricted in throughput, it take into account low delay.In this case, this travelling carriage compares T/P without the need to reaching maximum R-ESCH T/P
max_autojust can send, wherein T/P
max_autocan be arranged by signaling and adjust by base station.
One or more scheduling base station is determined scheduling, and carries out the distribution of reverse chain-circuit capacity by the mandate sent with relatively high speed on F-GCH.Therefore, scheduling can be adopted closely to control reverse link loading, thus protect voice quality (R-FCH), DV feedback (R-CQICH) and DV to confirm (R-ACKCH).
Independent mandate allows the detailed transmission controlling travelling carriage.Optional m igration platform can be carried out based on geometry and QoS, to make throughput reach maximum, keep the service class of needs simultaneously.Public mandate allows notice efficiently, particularly to the travelling carriage of low geometry.
Order that F-CACKCH channel can send " ACK and continuation ", it expands existing mandate with low cost.This is for authorizing separately and public mandate.
Fig. 5 is the sequential chart that autonomous transmission is described.In this example, 5ms sub-packet length is adopted for 4 ARQ channels.In this example, travelling carriage has data to arrive for transmission, and described transmission can use autonomous transmission to be sent fully.This travelling carriage does not need to experience the delay introduced by request and follow-up mandate.But it can send immediately in next ARQ channel.In the system of this example, travelling carriage will not be asked, unless it has the data volume being greater than and can sending with autonomy transmission.Transmission rate, modulation format and power level will by this example by parameter T/P
max_autothe traffic peak pilot tone ratio (T/P) of the permission autonomy transmission provided limits.Therefore, this travelling carriage does not need to ask, unless it has exceed T/P
max_autoavailable launch power.Travelling carriage can be selected while carrying out asking, to use autonomous transmission, to start transfer of data (being described in further detail below).Even if when data volume and available launch power are greater than the minimum value of request, this travelling carriage can a leading request, if this system refusal accepts autonomous transmission, then can avoid as much as possible asking and authorisation process and its delay of being correlated with.In this example, this travelling carriage sends its data in 3 ARQ channels.
The data transmitted by travelling carriage be identified in be labeled as " MS Tx " circuit on.After this data arrives, in 4 available ARQ channels 3 of this mobile station in selecting send data.These three 5ms transmission are noted as autonomous TX 1-3.Note, R-RICH is transmitted by together with pilot tone, as mentioned above.Usually, the transmission of this travelling carriage can be received by single base station or multiple base stations in soft-handoff.In order to clear, in Figure 5, this travelling carriage of base station in response transmission is only shown.This base station by sending ACK, NAK or ACK to this travelling carriage and continuing order to responding on F-CACKCH.The response of TX 1 namely autonomous to the first transmission and the TX 3 of autonomy are sent simultaneously, a sub-packet gaps is had in centre, to allow, this base station receives if having time fully, this first transmission of demodulation code, and determines whether that this subgroup is correctly received.As mentioned above, the subgroup previously transmitted can merge in the process of demodulation with current subgroup.In this example, the first transmission is not correctly received.Therefore, this base station will respond with NAK.In this embodiment, ACK is sent by conduct+1, and NAK is sent by as 0, and ACK and continuation are sent by conduct-1.Therefore, because NAK is sent by as 0, so by not sending instruction NAK on F-CACKCH, as mentioned above.Second and the 3rd transmission be correctly received, and to be therefore identified.Note, three ARQ channels are used by this travelling carriage, and the 4th is left idle.Usually, travelling carriage autonomously can send during any ARQ cycle.
In this example, transmit the NAK of transmission to first and be not used in last subgroup (in this example, nearly four sub-packet transmission being allowed for each grouping).Therefore, this travelling carriage will retransmit.In order to receive the decode F-CACKCH order, subgroup will be there will be and postponing between the NAK 1 and re-transmission Re-Tx 1 of the first transmission.Therefore, in this example, as shown, there is the retransmission delay of 20ms.
Fig. 6 illustrates an example system, and wherein travelling carriage communicates with scheduling base station.One group of mobile station MS

n+1-MS
n+Mautonomously will send without request.Four mobile station MSs

4request will be sent to this scheduling base station BS, and autonomously send while waiting for possible mandate.These transmission and request appear in the row of the request of being labeled as.
When travelling carriage has enough power and enough data time, this travelling carriage request R-ESCH high-speed transfer.Supported R-ESCH T/P compares T/P
max_autoa high grade, and considering the autonomy transmission and T/P of authorizing timing period
max_autoafterwards, data are in a buffer enough to meet at least one and are greater than by T/P
max_autothe encoder packet supported.In this embodiment, minimum request time again also can be utilized to carry out limit request.In order to avoid too much request, when the power just described and queue condition are met, timer can be used for guaranteeing there has been predetermined time quantum between previous request and new request.Notice that this timer length can be able to be arranged definitely or randomly.Increased when this buffer sizes or also changed due to last request when causing supported T/P to change, various embodiment can allow not consider timer demand.In this embodiment, travelling carriage uses R-REQCH to ask R-ESCH transmission.The request message of an example comprises 4 bits, each for supported R-ESCH T/P, length of data queue and QoS rank.Countless request message structure is predictable, and according to said herein, will be adopted by those skilled in the art easily.
Also various priority scheme can be adopted.Such as, QoS grade can determine whether or with what speed, this travelling carriage can send a request.Such as, advanced level user can be endowed higher access privileges compared with economic user.Different data types also can be assigned with different priority.Priority scheme can be that determine or random.The parameter relevant with this priority scheme can be updated via signaling, and can change based on the system mode that such as load is such.
In the row being designated " authorizing: separately with public ", scheduling base station BS receives transmission and request.BS determines how to go to distribute to authorize based on received request.This BS can consider number and the available reverse chain-circuit capacity (channel supported according to other of desired autonomy transmission, comprise non-DV channel, such as voice and other reverse link data or control channel), to determine the mandate can supporting what type if any.In this example, GCH
0be defined as public authorization channel.Public mandate is issued, and comprises type, QoS and T/P for this mandate.In this example, type " 000 " is identified, service quality QoS
1this public mandate is given to T/P=5dB.It will be understood to those of skill in the art that and many types or QoS can be adopted in any given system to specify (designation).In an alternative embodiment, public mandate can simply for the travelling carriage of any request, there is QoS requirement and can be used the different travelling carriage of configure higher than the travelling carriage of any request of certain rank or the levels of complexity of any expectation, to respond a mandate based on the difference rank expected between the mobile station.In the embodiment that another is replaced, multiple public authorization channel can be adopted, and different travelling carriages is assigned with response mandate in the different subset of authorization channel.The QoS rank that this distribution can need based on travelling carriage, the soft-handoff condition of this travelling carriage or other factor.
In this embodiment, base station can side by side to specifically authorizing up to N number of travelling carriage or authorizing separately, to send a new encoder data grouping.The number N of independent mandate can be determined according to the loading condition of this power system capacity and change.
In the example illustrated, each F-GCH is (except public authorization channel GCH
0outside) authorize a travelling carriage, although In an alternative embodiment, special delegated authority can be sent to one group of travelling carriage, wherein this group travelling carriage is assigned to an authorization channel by using public (group) ID, and this public (group) ID is assigned to travelling carriage in this set.In this example, authorization messages comprises 12 bit payloads, is wherein the travelling carriage ID of 8 bits and the R-ESCH T/P of 4 bits permission.This is authorized separately and is applicable to single ARQ channel.In an alternative embodiment, can also support long authorization messages, and a mark is for comprising one or more additional ARQ channel in this mandate.In the various embodiments described herein, the special delegated authority of single ARQ channel will be described in order to clear.Disclosed principle easily will be expanded to long mandate by those skilled in the art.
In order to reduce the complexity of decoding authorisation in a mobile station, can notify that travelling carriage just monitors the subset of this authorization channel.
In this embodiment, base station can use F-GCH
0for remaining request MS carries out public mandate.Because public GCH is on a fixing walsh code, therefore do not need travelling carriage ID.As being described in further detail below, at F-GCH
0upper message repeated more than 20ms (4 ARQ channels), to save forward link power.(recall, a benefit of public mandate is the travelling carriage arriving low geometry, and specifically authorizing for it will be that relative cost is high).The content of authorization messages is extendible: in this case, and 3 bits are specified for TYPE (type) field.This TYPE field can specify the parameter of any expectation.In this example, it also determines the form (that is, TYPE=" 000 " is corresponding to the T/Pj of 3 bits of QoS grade j, j=0,1,2) that QoS specifies.Any other the type known in this field can be used for expanding this channel.
In this example, to mobile station MS
1and MS
3carry out two special delegated authorities, as indicated by MAC_ID 1 and 3.These are authorized at authorization channel GCH
1and GCH
2on carry out.These two special delegated authorities allow the T/P of 8dB and 12dB respectively.The travelling carriage being endowed special delegated authority can be determined for the data rate desired by the T/P of each distribution and modulation format (being described in further detail below).Notice, only MS
1and MS
3receive special delegated authority.Therefore, MS
2and MS
4will depend on public mandate, and its lower T/P is 5dB.
In the transmission row of mark, if there are data, different travelling carriages according to public and special delegated authority or autonomously, will send data.
Fig. 7 illustrates this system load in response to the mandate provided in the example of fig. 6 and autonomous transmission.For the overall system load definition targeted loads expected.Identify an interference components, it can comprise the various interchangeable voice supported by this system and/or data channel (the non-DV channel such as, in 1xEV-DV system).Determine that public and independent mandate is transmitted with the transmission (public and independent) allowing to authorize, the autonomy expected and is equal to or less than the summation of interference of this targeted loads.If targeted loads is exceeded (needing too much re-transmission), throughput can be lowered, and reduces capacity.When system load is lower than targeted loads time, some reverse chain-circuit capacities are not utilized.Therefore, scheduling base station is determined to authorize effectively to load this reverse link separately.Correspond to the example request described in figure 6, show by mobile station MS

Fig. 8 is a sequential chart, shows the request of operation together with autonomy transmission and F-CACKCH and Authorized operation.This example illustrates a travelling carriage communicated with scheduling base station without the need to soft handover.In this example, four 5ms ARQ channels are adopted.Those skilled in the art can adopt other countless configurations according to disclosed principle herein.
After data arrive this travelling carriage confession transmission, this travelling carriage is determined to support the condition for the authorization requests of the throughput that reverse link increases.This travelling carriage forms a request message, and itself and same autonomy is transmitted together with TX 1 and transmit to start.In this example, this request has the duration of 5ms.Shorter request and/or mandate are convenient to distribute reverse link resources quickly, and adjust those distribution quickly.Longer request and/or mandate with lower power transmission, or can more easily can arrive the travelling carriage of lower geometry.Packet duration, request duration, any different displacement of authorizing duration etc. are predictable arriving, and according to saying herein, will easily be adopted by those skilled in the art.
During following ARQ channel, base station receives this request, together with any request of the travelling carriage supported from other, and is decoded.After the decoding, this base station is carried out scheduling and is judged, that is, if any, will carry out the independent of what type or public mandate.In the meantime, this travelling carriage autonomously sends second subgroup TX 2 on the 2nd ARQ channel.Travelling carriage also uses this packet duration with the TX 1 received that decodes.
During the 3rd ARQ channel, by scheduling base station, 5ms mandate is carried out to travelling carriage.Described above is the authorization messages of an example.Authorize outside the travelling carriage of (it can carry out in various ways, comprises and uses travelling carriage ID, or for the special delegated authority channel etc. of this travelling carriage) except identifying to it, a maximum T/P is allocated for the duration of this mandate.Meanwhile, this travelling carriage continues its autonomous transmission, sends TX 3.The TX 1 that decodes must be removed by spended time in this base station, and determines whether that it is correctly received.In this example, it is correctly received, and therefore, on the F-CACKCH of this scheduling (or mandate) base station, on the subchannel distributing to this travelling carriage, have sent an ACK.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that and any interchangeable technology or device also can be adopted this ACK to be sent to the travelling carriage of transmission.
During the 4th ARQ channel, this travelling carriage will receive the decode ACK and mandate from scheduling base station.Meanwhile, it continues its autonomous transmission, sends TX 4.In this example, scheduling base station correctly receives the autonomy transmission of TX 2, therefore, is by indicating without transmission on F-CACKCH to the NAK of TX 2.
Decoded in the 4th ARQ channel NAK and mandate, this travelling carriage carries out scheduled transmission in the 5th packet, its be first ARQ channel again.Note, in order to reduce forward link expense, one replace embodiment independent GCH sending one license to travelling carriage while, do not send ACK.That is, this travelling carriage will be interpreted as concurrent mandate and an ACK the mandate received.This travelling carriage determines the speed desired by T/P and the modulation format of mandate, and carries out that transmission, TX 5, instead of sends with the T/P of limited autonomy.Note, in this example, R-RICH is sent out, and rate indicator is in the power of raising simultaneously, to give a hand in the speed rates that demodulation is higher, as mentioned above.Note request in first sub-packet duration, the mandate responded in the 3rd sub-packet duration and in the 5th according to the causality between the transmission of this mandate.In addition, during this 5th sub-packet duration, this base station corresponds to TX 3 and sends an ACK.
At the 6th sub-packet duration, or in ARQ 2, this travelling carriage has been decoded to the NAK of TX 2, and retransmits that subgroup.Meanwhile, this base station in response sends an ACK in being correctly decoded autonomous TX 4, and will attempt the TX 5 of decoding transmission and reception in previous frame.
In the 7th sub-packet duration, base station has determined that TX 5 is decoded incorrectly, and indicates a NAK, that is, in this example, does not send.This may be due to the following fact, that is, travelling carriage is in the T/P parameter of being specified by mandate, has some ability judged voluntarily to the data transmission that it is expected.Therefore, if expect the throughput of low latency, the speed that selection may cause first subgroup to be correctly decoded by this travelling carriage and modulation format are (although may still need one or more subgroup, in this case, the probability of success can expected according to first transmission selects this speed).Perhaps, in this example, this travelling carriage has replaced selection speed and form to obtain maximum data throughout during authorizing.In this case, before being correctly decoded, likely need the subgroup of all permissions (being 4 in this example).Therefore, following two groupings 5 retransmitted also likely are denied confirmation.This base station merges the subgroup from each subsequent transmission, to improve demodulation performance, as mentioned above.Certainly, this speed also can be selected such that only may need two retransmits.This selection course will be described in greater detail below.Meanwhile, this travelling carriage is autonomously at this ARQ channel (in this example, ARQ channel 3) upper transmission TX 6.
During the 8th sub-packet duration, this travelling carriage is endowed a chance, with the NAK of decode transmission and reception in previous frame.Meanwhile, autonomous transmission continues to be sent out as TX 7 on this 4th ARQ channel.
In the 9th sub-packet duration, this travelling carriage has been decoded to the NAK of TX 5, and therefore, TX 5 is retransmitted.Note, in this example, there is 20ms delay in the re-transmission being transferred to that grouping subsequent frame from.Postpone it is also noted that there is 20ms from this request to first chance, this first chance, if any, for sending in response to the mandate made according to this request.
Fig. 9 is sequential chart ACK being described and continuing the exemplary operations of ordering.This schematic diagram is very similar to Fig. 8, therefore, only will give prominence to difference.Have employed and four identical in fig. 8 5ms ARQ channels, and equally there is autonomous transmission.TX 2 is also denied confirmation, as previously mentioned.
But, in this example, note, in response to asking the independent mandate carried out to be only for an encoder packet.When TX 5 respond this mandate transmitted time, when TX 5 is correctly received (be incorrectly received at Fig. 8, and must be retransmitted), there are two alternatives base station.This base station will know whether that the buffer of this travelling carriage comprises more data, as provided in the request.In order to avoid with new mandate with ask the expense in relevant signaling and cost, this base station can determine that continue this authorizes separately.Certainly, this base station consider the autonomy of expectation load, from the interference of other channels and other are public and authorize separately.In this example, such determination is carried out in this base station, and on F-CACKCH, send ACK and continuation.This is correctly received to travelling carriage instruction TX 5, does not need extra re-transmission.In addition, this travelling carriage knows that it can continue its scheduled transmission without the need to an extra request.Therefore, as shown, in response to ACK and continuation order, this travelling carriage sends scheduled transmission TX8.
If whatsoever this base station of reason has judged that this travelling carriage does not preferably continue to send, an ACK can be sent, instead of ACK and continuation.Then, this travelling carriage still will recognize that TX 5 is correctly received, and will not need to retransmit.But the mandate of this travelling carriage expires now, therefore, the 9th sub-packet duration (not shown details) period, autonomous transmission can only will be utilized.The various selection and technology that adopt ACK and ACK and continuation will be described in further detail below.
Figure 10 is a sequential chart that public Authorized operation is described.As mentioned above, the travelling carriage of all requests can pass through maximum R-ESCH T/P T/P
max_commonpublic mandate be authorized to, T/P here
max_common>=T/P
max_auto.The travelling carriage of authorizing separately can be used in request after at time D
req_grantfirst F-GCH of upper reception
0public mandate.This delay guarantees that scheduling base station receives this request if having time, and correspondingly changes this public mandate.For the F-GCH that 5ms after terminating in this mandate starts
0the repetition duration, this public mandate is effective.These specific parameters are only used to discuss clear and definition, because can adopt any parameter in the alternative embodiment.
As described in fig .9, base station can use ACK and continuing to expand for by this mandate of the travelling carriage of public mandate.In fact this use previous public mandate to arrange transformation parameter, changes the public mandate of travelling carriage selected into one for each independent mandate.In addition, the public mandate that transmission one is new can be used for the T/P reducing the travelling carriage those not being received to ACK and continuation.The public mandate that base station can freely avoid transmission one new, therefore almost removes selected travelling carriage.Send ACK to may be used for removing the public mandate to those travelling carriages to the travelling carriage selected.Certainly, special delegated authority can be carried out to reduce or to cancel its public mandate, although can prove for expending of this object special delegated authority too high by the travelling carriage of public mandate in advance to one or more.In an alternative embodiment, if so expected, a new T/P
max_commonaCK can be utilized and continue operation, being applied to by the travelling carriage of public mandate, allowing its mandate to be carried out global revision by with single public mandate.In another alternative, if the public mandate T/P that the travelling carriage utilizing ACK and continuation to continue under public mandate uses improves, this travelling carriage can utilize higher T/P.Any combination of these technology can be adopted.Signaling can be used in response to public mandate to revise the behavior of travelling carriage, and different classes of travelling carriage can follow different rules based on its classification.Therefore such as, state that is senior or economy can be invested travelling carriage, or is invested the data type of different classification.
Therefore, in this example, this request shown in Figure 10 is too late, and can not allow MS
1go to use public mandate 1, as shown.One after this request illustrated possible request will be too late, and can not allow MS
1go to use public mandate 2.Note, in this example, at GCH
2and GCH
1the independent mandate of upper transmission is not sent to MS
1.In this public mandate example, this public mandate is by GCH
0upper transmission and by repetition more than 20ms.This allows this public mandate to be sent by with the power relatively lower than mandate separately, reduces the reverse chain-circuit capacity that this public mandate needs, and allows it to be used to arrive the travelling carriage of lower geometry.Any encoding scheme can be adopted effectively to arrive to improve this public mandate.Such as, this mandate can by repetition 4 times, each repetition 5ms.The mandate that this travelling carriage can merge this mandate requirement of decoding repeats.In another alternative, can adopt forward multiply effect (FEC) encoding scheme, it expands this mandate in whole public authorization cycles.Various encoding scheme is well known in the art.
MS is sent in response to public mandate 2
1scheduled transmission, have 5ms frame between the two in the end of public mandate 2 and the beginning of this scheduled transmission, to decode if having time this public mandate to allow this travelling carriage.This public mandate is effective for 20ms or 4 ARQ channel.In this embodiment, although the mandate duration of any length can be adopted, be the use of a ratio and authorize separately the longer public mandate duration.This allows the frequency of public mandate (can use when mandate is expensive separately time) lower for a certain amount of transfer of data.An embodiment of replacing has public authorization channel, and it can have the shorter or longer duration, but has less payload (bit that each mandate is less), to reduce forward link power consumption.Note, the authorization channel having less bit by is also lowered by walsh space expense on the forward link.
From request to the delay of scheduled transmission, therefore namely public mandate postpones is minimum 35ms, if this request earlier occurs relative to the beginning of public mandate 2, it may be longer.This example allows base station to adopt a kind of conservative dispatching method, and wherein all requests are known before public mandate sends.In relative alternative more freely, travelling carriage can be allowed to nail in the up-to-date public mandate effectively received, if utilize the number of the request of public mandate to prove too high, needs base station to reduce public mandate.
Note, in order to clear, in Fig. 10, autonomous transmission is omitted.MS
1likely will be sent in the autonomy transmission of the available quantity of public mandate timing period.A system embodiment can instruct MS
1utilize available autonomy transmission, but this not enforceable.In the embodiment of various replacement, travelling carriage can be allowed to carry out selection to carry out asking to carry out autonomy transmission simultaneously, can be required autonomously to send, or can be prohibited when request is suspended autonomously to send when asking and wait for and authorizing.Those skilled in the art will use the various combinations of independent and public mandate, easily adopt autonomous with countless configurations that are scheduled transmission.
Figure 11 is a sequential chart, illustrates that unauthorized base station participates in the rl transmission of decoding from travelling carriage and the confirmation to this travelling carriage in soft-handoff.Described by six initial frames are similar in fig. 8.This travelling carriage carries out asking to send data, and carries out autonomy transmission TX 1-4.Authorized base station receives this request, to its decoding, and determines the scheduling that is suitable for.Carried out one to authorize separately, after which, this travelling carriage sends scheduled transmission TX 5.As in fig. 8, this authorized base station is correctly decoded TX 2, and that subgroup of Negative Acknowledgement.Monitor the unauthorized base station of the rl transmission of this travelling carriage in soft-handoff, correctly do not decode 4 autonomous transmission TX 1-4 initial any one.Therefore, as in fig. 8, do not have base station to confirm TX 2, and this travelling carriage retransmit TX 2.As in fig. 8, authorized base station is Negative Acknowledgement scheduled transmission TX 5 also.But correctly decoded TX 5 really in unauthorized base station, therefore, the F-CACKCH of unauthorized base station sends an ACK.The re-transmission of TX 5 therefore, shown in Figure 8 is omitted in the example of Figure 11 (indicated by the dashed-line outer box by the re-transmission of irising out).This is the example that a soft handover base station participates in.
Depend on the coordination of base station, the various embodiments of the travelling carriage behavior with Different Results can be adopted.In an example system without the need to close coordination between the base stations, authorize and ACK and continuation order only from authorized base station.In this case, this authorized base station may distribute the re-transmission of some capacity for expecting.Selection makes travelling carriage send new data, to utilize distributed capacity point being used in the time slot of re-transmission.But, in various embodiments, a new mandate or an ACK and continue to allow this travelling carriage to go to send the subgroup (being 4 in this example) of predetermined quantity.Therefore, if the new data of this travelling carriage needs the extra subgroup after those points are used in TX 5 beyond remainder, this mandate will be expanded.Scheme is these new data of this identification of base stations, and admissible expansion is calculated into following scheduling.Alternative limits this mobile station in selecting for the speed of new transfer of data and a form, and described new transfer of data is desirably in the remaining subgroup of distributing in previous mandate (or ACK and continuation) and stops.Then this authorized base station can confirm these new data, to stop any continuity additionally, if desired.This travelling carriage also can abandon this new data at the end of prior authorizations, if it is not identified (that is, this travelling carriage self is limited to by new transfer of data to more smallest number available subgroup).
In an example system, the base station be wherein in soft handover is coordinated more closely, and unauthorized base station can be allowed transmission ACK and continuation.Then, base station can depend on the circumstances and coordinate suitable system load distribution.
In the exemplary embodiment, although ACK and NAK can send from multiple base station in soft-handoff, ACK and continuation are only from scheduling base station sector.Therefore, do not need to dispatch between base station, this can be a benefit for base station providers and Systems Operator.Advantage may be between the base stations can not necessarily ultrahigh speed link.Such as, high speed back haul link will be needed between multiple base stations to arrive in a 5ms frame with supported data, and 5ms go decoding, succeeded by ACK, NAK that transmission is coordinated, or ACK and continuation.Therefore, in one embodiment, travelling carriage is only for mandate and/or ACK and continue to accept this service or scheduling base station.In an alternative embodiment, still utilizes the base station of not coordinating to authorize, and this travelling carriage and can continue to accept multiple base station for mandate and/or ACK in soft-handoff, and when collision signal arrives time, can adopt some arbitration scheme.Such as, in order to the system load that the base station not exceeding any mandate can be expected, travelling carriage can send with the mandate T/P of minimum permission among base stations all in the active set of this travelling carriage.Note, other travelling carriage except " all central minimum " can be used regular, comprise the random behavior based on allowed mandate T/P.For Figure 11, the conflict response comprising an ACK and continuation can process as mentioned above.
In an alternative embodiment, utilizes backhaul faster between the base stations, can carry out between the base stations coordinating to send to single mobile station.Therefore, such as, the identical order sent from all base stations can be coordinated and send (that is, or the type of authorizing or ACK and continuation).
Figure 12 is the sequential chart of an illustrated example embodiment, wherein retransmits the priority of the mandate be endowed higher than scheduling.When autonomously sending TX 1, travelling carriage is asked.Authorized base station is decoded this request, and makes scheduling and determine, it will comprise the mandate of a travelling carriage request.But TX 1 is not correctly decoded on base station, therefore, TX 1 is denied confirmation.Owing to being also will retransmit the ARQ channel of TX1 thereon by the ARQ channel being allocated for this scheduled transmission, therefore this base station postpones this mandate.Different travelling carriages can be assigned to the reverse link assignment of that ARQ channel.In this example, this mandate is sent by the frame below.Therefore, this travelling carriage retransmits TX 1 on the 5th frame, and sends the TX 5 of scheduling on follow-up ARQ channel.In this way, mandate can be distributed to avoid and retransmission collisions in base station.In one embodiment, in order to utilize the authorization channel of higher reliability, travelling carriage can relative to any NAK, ACK of the channel (F-CACKCH) from lower reliability, or ACK-and continue order, gives the mandate received with priority.
Figure 13 is a sequential chart that the result of the request of loss is described.As previously mentioned, after the data for transmission arrive, travelling carriage is asked.If there is response, this travelling carriage will expect that the fastest responded mandate is at time D after the request
req_giantupper arrival.This frame will be sent out corresponding to shown wherein TX 3.But this request is not received by base station for a certain reason, as indicated by decoding unsuccessfully.Therefore, do not authorize, as indicated by the dashed-line outer box on this authorized base station F-GCH.If made a mandate, use the 4th frame has gone its decoding by this travelling carriage.In this case, do not make mandate, so there is no mandate decoded.Therefore, when the 5th frame starts, first this travelling carriage will start a new request.Therefore, four frames from first request will be follow the minimum delay of again asking after the request of losing.Therefore, note, in three image durations of following this request, do not make request, as indicated by dashed-line outer box.
Again first that asks available frame is illustrated by the dashed-line outer box being labeled as " possible request again ".But in this embodiment, as indicated, this travelling carriage is equipped with and postpones with the request again that wait one before the request new transmission one is extra.In this example, this delay is two frames.Base station can use this again ask postpone, to reduce the reverse link loading produced by the request of this repetition, or by make the travelling carriage of certain classification than other quickly again ask QoS difference (differentiation) is provided.Again delay is asked to be signaled to travelling carriage.It can be that determine or random, that is, it can be Stochastic choice.Such as, travelling carriage is each request generation again random number, and determines that this is asked again accordingly.By suitably departing from this random number with relative to the travelling carriage of economic grade or data type, providing lower again request of more high likelihood to postpone to high-grade travelling carriage or data type, thus QoS difference can be comprised.
In fig. 13, travelling carriage sends this and again asks, and as indicated in frame 7, and authorized base station correctly receives the decode this during frame 8 again asks.Responsively, a mandate is sent by the 9th frame.Note, because request is lost, before frame 9, on F-GCH, do not send mandate.
Although describe the example of the request of loss in fig. 13, the behavior of this described travelling carriage suppresses the situation making independent or public any mandate to this travelling carriage to be identical with wherein travelling carriage.The mandate of mandate and the refusal that may lose do not distinguished by travelling carriage.Adopt again request mechanism to control the request again of travelling carriage.
It is also noted that the request of losing is for the impact of the scheduling of authorized base station.In time asking not to be correctly received in authorized base station, all follow-up public mandate sent by that base station also will ask this travelling carriage mandate be not correctly decoded to it.Therefore, that travelling carriage will send and consumes a part for shared resource, and this part is not calculated in the distribution of this base station.There is some methods to process this problem.First, possible extra travelling carriage can calculate by this authorized base station simply to be distributed into next, and if desired, the T/P changing this public mandate adapts to this extra transmission to make it.Although perhaps expend too high, another alternative is, the independent mandate of the T/P that this base station is replaced with an instruction, or by the special marker that the mandate of this travelling carriage of instruction is terminated, comes to that travelling carriage signaling.But, use an ACK to be more efficient and mode that is effect, with the mandate removing a mandate made mistakenly or no longer expect.This base station can confirm and continue those simply and wish that public mandate remains effective travelling carriage, and confirms the travelling carriage that those this public mandate will be terminated.
Figure 14 is a sequential chart that the delay caused by the mandate of losing is described.In first frame illustrated, this travelling carriage has sent a request and has autonomously sent TX 1.Scheduling base station sends a mandate in same image duration for this travelling carriage.But this mandate is not correctly received, therefore, in frame then, this travelling carriage does not have decoding authorisation.In the 3rd frame, this travelling carriage is asked again.Meanwhile, autonomous transmission TX 3 is sent by this travelling carriage.But if this mandate is not lost, in frame 3, this travelling carriage may send a scheduled transmission.Instead, the request that scheduling base station authorizes this new in the 5th frame, this travelling carriage correctly receives the decode this mandate in the 6th frame.This travelling carriage carries out scheduled transmission TX 7 in the 7th frame.Note, the mandate owing to losing in scheduled transmission causes four frame delay.
In an example embodiment, when scheduling base station receives the transmission of the T/P being confined to this autonomy in frame 3, this scheduling base station can detect to authorize to be lost.This base station can determine that this mandate is lost, or compares with the T/P of the expectation allowed in the mandate of losing, and travelling carriage is power limited in addition.Have the travelling carriage of the independent mandate of higher T/P to send with the T/P of lower autonomy restriction although likely have received one, perhaps this be unlikely, and this base station can utilize the detected mandate that may lose.In the example shown in Figure 14, again ask and again do not ask to postpone.Therefore, the next frame (frame 7) in the ARQ channel of authorizing will by as desired for a scheduled transmission.In the example of a unshowned replacement, if travelling carriage suffers again to ask to postpone, request can not receive in frame 4 base station that is scheduled again.So the T/P distributing to travelling carriage and be used for frame 7 can be reassigned to another travelling carriage by this scheduling base station, make this system resource can not be under-utilized.
Figure 15 is flow chart scheduling being described and confirming the method 1500 transmitted.In an example embodiment, this method can boundlessly be repeated, and repeats this process once for each subgroup frame (such as, 5ms).This process starts in step 1510, and here scheduling base station receives access request from one or more travelling carriage.Note, this scheduling base station can serve multiple travelling carriage.A subset of those travelling carriages can have any data to be sent.Another subset can only autonomously send.Another subset can send the request (if applicable, together with the transfer of data of same autonomy) of an access.
In step 1520, scheduling base station shared resource is distributed to desired amt autonomy transmission, if any, one or more independent mandate, if desired, the public mandate of a remainder for this request and any mandate will expanded from previous mandate (independent or public).Some travelling carriage can must not send, and estimates that sending the technology of number of base stations is known in this field, and this technology comprises and uses system statistics, previous transmission, the type of data previously sent and other factors many.Can comprise and allow probabilistic suitable surplus, when conditions are changing, it can be determined in advance or dynamically upgrade.Wish that the remainder of travelling carriage sent will be known, have some exception, this is because access request also can indicate the data volume that will send.Base station can be followed the tracks of and from each residue how many data the travelling carriage of request will be sent.An exception can be the request of losing, and will be ignorant to its base station.As mentioned above, in this case, if having issued public mandate, then it asks the travelling carriage be lost still can send according to public mandate.Base station can comprise some surplus allowing such accidental transmission.Base station also can use ACK order instead of ACK and continuation order promptly to abandon unexpected transmission.Based on the autonomy transmission expected and all available surpluses, shared resource can be distributed to and share and public mandate by base station, if any.Equally, can based on the geometry of travelling carriage, and added the QoS come and carry out the transmission of optional m igration platform for increasing, to improve the throughput of given system load, keep service class simultaneously.In the 1xEV-DV system of example, as mentioned above, shared resource is the balance of the reverse link being not yet assigned to other channels.Therefore amount for distributing to the reverse chain-circuit capacity of R-ESCH can change along with the time.
In step 1530, base station sends authorizes.Independent mandate can send on one or more independent authorization channel.Travelling carriage can be assigned to the authorization channel monitoring that this travelling carriage is special, or one or more independent authorization channel, and wherein on described one or more independent authorization channel, multiple travelling carriage can be authorized individually.In one embodiment, single public authorization channel is used to transmission public mandate.In an alternative embodiment, can distribute multiple public mandate, and sends on multiple public authorization channel.Travelling carriage can be assigned with and monitor one or more public authorization channel, and the quantity monitored can be the subset of public authorization channel sum.
In step 1540, base station receives transfer of data from travelling carriage.These transmission will comprise autonomous transmission, and in response to any transmission that any independent or public mandate is carried out.Base station can receive unexpected transmission.Such as, a request of losing may cause travelling carriage to send in response to public mandate.As another example, the independent mandate of another travelling carriage is sent in travelling carriage possible errors ground decoding one, and sends according to this independent mandate, instead of suppresses transmission according to public mandate or when not sending public mandate.In another example, travelling carriage possible errors ACK or NAK is decoded as an ACK and continuation, thus expands previous mandate mistakenly or stop a transmission do not completed and expand previous mandate.Each the received transmission of base station decodes, and determine whether that transmission is decoded incorrectly.
In step 1550, allow if distributed, base station is expanded selectively and previous is licensed to many previously authorized travelling carriages.Base station uses ACK and continues order, thus avoids with extra request and authorize relevant expense.Those transmission received mistakenly will be denied confirmation, and if do not arrive the maximum number of re-transmission (or subgroup), re-transmission will then be carried out.Those authorize the travelling carriage not being allowed to expand (and it transmits decoded and mistake do not detected) will be sent out an ACK.Then, process stops (and can repeat for next frame).
Figure 16 is the flow chart that an explanation carries out asking, receiving the method 1600 of mandate and confirmation and corresponding transfer of data.This method is suitable for being deployed in the travelling carriage communicated with scheduling base station.The method that base station can use all methods described above 1500 such.This process can repeat for each frame by the mode similar with method 1500.
Process starts at determination module 1605.If travelling carriage does not have data to send, this process stops.Data for transmission can arrive in repetition in the future.If there are data, that is, in data buffer, enter into step 1610 and/or 1615.
Step 1610 and 1615 can side by side perform, or no matter order performs continuously.As described in this embodiment, monitoring that the function of HARQ channel and authorization channel can be relevant, or can be separable.This example illustrates each feature.Those skilled in the art, by easily disclosed principle being herein used in the embodiment of countless replacements, comprise the step or its subset that illustrate.
In step 1610, monitor F-CACKCH, to monitor any HARQ order being sent to travelling carriage based on previous transmission.As mentioned above, in this example, travelling carriage can receive ACK, NAK or an ACK and continuation (if previous transmission is in response to a mandate).Come in the ban from the request of travelling carriage sends time, in step 1615, distribute to travelling carriage for monitoring that both authorization channel independent and/or public is monitored, this authorization channel can be the subset of the sum of authorization channel.Naturally, if the request not only do not carried out transmission formerly but also do not carry out formerly, travelling carriage does not need to monitor F-CACKCH or authorization channel respectively.
In decision box 1620, the HARQ part of this process starts.If do not have previous transmission, travelling carriage undesirably has any response on F-CACKCH, and therefore, process can jump to decision box 1640 (in order to clear, omit and describe in detail).If receive an ACK in response to previous transmission (with previous mandate) and continue order, enter into step 1665.Travelling carriage is authorized to the access expanded based on previous mandate, and can use the T/P of prior authorizations.Note, in the alternative embodiment, the change in public mandate can or can be applicable to change previous mandate T/P, as mentioned above.If do not receive an ACK and continuation, enter into decision box 1625.
At decision box 1625, if receive an ACK, if there is previous mandate, then it is not expanded.Do not need to retransmit yet.Travelling carriage can also autonomously send, as apparent in the remainder of this flow chart.In the exemplary embodiment, the remainder of this flow chart, its process determines whether to send a new mandate, is inapplicable, because travelling carriage will not have a request do not completed (will contents of decrement owing to doing like this, adopt the feature of ACK and continuation to prevent it from occurring).But, in the alternative embodiment, can allow there are the multiple requests do not completed simultaneously, perhaps allow the multiple ARQ channel of request.These replacements fall within scope of the present invention, but for the sake of clarity details are not shown.If receive an ACK, enter into decision box 1640.Note, decision box 1625 can comprise the test whether having carried out previous transmission, and if do not have, will undesirably ACK (or ACK and continuation), and enter into decision box 1640.
In decision box 1625, if do not receive an ACK, so NAK is assumed to be acquiescence.Enter into decision box 1630.In decision box 1630, if having sent the subgroup of maximum number, do not allow to retransmit.Enter into decision box 1640 to test for all mandates of coming in, or autonomously send, as will be described below.No matter if subgroup residue, enter into step 1635, and according to previous transmission, be autonomous or the retransmitting of scheduling.Then, this process can stop for current frame.
In time having carried out previous request, decision box 1640 and 1645 has been applicatory, and can receive the mandate of a type or another type.If do not carry out previous request, travelling carriage directly can enter into decision box 1650 (in order to clear, eliminating details).Note, in this case, travelling carriage does not need to have performed step 1615 yet.As selection, decision box 1640 and 1645 can comprise whether having carried out previous request in testing, and ignore one and authorize (being probably decoded incorrectly) separately, an or public mandate (it can not be effective for unsolicited travelling carriage).
In decision box 1640, if in response to previous request, receive one and authorize separately, then enter into step 1670.Travelling carriage is awarded a T/P as specified in authorizing separately.If do not receive independent mandate, then enter into decision box 1645.
In decision box 1645, if in response to previous request, receive a public mandate, then enter into step 1675.Travelling carriage is awarded a T/P as specified in public mandate.If do not receive public mandate, then enter into decision box 1650.
In decision box 1650, travelling carriage determines whether that it wants to carry out a request.Various factors detailed above can be included in this judgement.Such as, the data value of minimum may be had to ask.The data volume of awaiting transmission should exceed the amount that can autonomously send.In addition, if follow-up autonomy transmission may be finished these data quickly than wait request and mandate, so do not need to ask.Service quality can be incorporated in this judgement.Travelling carriage can determine that a request is the data in order to certain type, but autonomous transmission is suitable for other.Or travelling carriage may be limited to carry out the ability of asking based on the QoS rank of this travelling carriage.Detail other example various above, other will be apparent for those skilled in the art.Note, for having the data buffer of different QoS ranks or such data buffer group, can make a determination and will send individual asking, to make the quality being supplied to these data buffers suitable with delay.If expect a request, then enter into decision box 1655.If not, enter into step 1680.Travelling carriage (unless limited in addition) can use this T/P of the T/P being designated as maximum autonomy to carry out autonomy transmission.
In decision box 1655, if carried out previous request, all request condition again must meet (above relative to the example that Figure 13 describes in detail).Previous request may be lost, or does not intentionally authorize based on the assigning process of base station.Or previous request may be authorized individually or publicly, then stopped with an ACK (or fail with an ACK and continue to be expanded).In a word, if discontented foot request condition again applicatory, step 1680 is entered into use autonomous T/P, as just described.If meet request condition again, enter into step 1660 and send request.In the exemplary embodiment, this request comprises data volume in a buffer, and the T/P that can be supported by travelling carriage (it may change along with the time).If there is request, then the mandate carried out in response to this request, will occur, repeats this process 1600 thus subsequently in frame after a while.In the exemplary embodiment, travelling carriage can carry out an autonomous transmission immediately, therefore enters into step 1680, as just described.
Step 1665-1680 each to mobile assignment T/P with send time use.From those steps any one, enter into step 1685.In step 1685, travelling carriage selects transformation parameter based on distributed T/P.Note, T/P is only used as an example.Other system assignment parameter can be adopted in the alternative embodiment.Such as, can use other performance number, it allows travelling carriage to select transformation parameter.As selection, the flexibility that travelling carriage is less can be supplied to, and ad hoc can distribute one or more transformation parameter (no matter in mandate, or signal to use in autonomy transmission).Known for selecting the various methods of transformation parameter in this field.Be described above the method for other novelties.The Figure 17 below described in detail details one for performing example and the alternative of step 1685 method.Once have selected transformation parameter, enter into step 1690.
In step 1690, travelling carriage sends the compatible data volume with meeting selected parameter with selected parameter.This parameter can comprise encoder data size, modulation format, power level for business and/or pilot tone (comprising main, auxiliary or additional pilot tone), and any other transformation parameter known in field.In this example embodiment, one is authorized separately, send a subgroup on the arq channel.If adopt a long authorization mark, and be included in this independent mandate, then this travelling carriage can send on more than one ARQ channel.In this example embodiment, a public mandate is for 20ms, or 4 ARQ channels are effective.The travelling carriage of authorizing publicly can use them whole.Although eliminate details in figure 16, as described in detail herein, this method is suitable for using with multiple subgroup and ARQ channel.These are only examples, and these principles easily will be expanded to countless embodiment configurations by those skilled in the art.After the transmission, then this process of current frame is stopped.
Figure 17 be one illustrate in response to can T/P to select the flow chart of transformation parameter method.It is suitable in step 1685 detailed above and wherein transformation parameter uses in any other the embodiment selected based on T/P.This process starts in decision box 1710.Distribution T/P is for travelling carriage.If the available transmitting power of this travelling carriage is not enough to utilize the T/P distributed, enters into step 1720 and reduce this T/P, to adapt to available transmitting power.
In the exemplary embodiment, a T/P is assigned with.P parameter is relevant to pilot power, and it is controlled by base station power.Depend on selected speed and form, the pilot power added may be needed.In this example, Auxiliary Pilot Channel transmits additional pilot power, in this case, this Auxiliary Pilot Channel is R-RICH.Travelling carriage may be wanted to comprise a surplus, because the future directions of power control command is unknown, and may need the pilot power that adds.Its available transmitting power determined by this travelling carriage, and (main with auxiliary), service power are compared with the summation of suitable any surplus with pilot power it, with determine whether to support authorize the T/P of (or distributing to autonomous transmission).This T/P changed as required will be used to select transformation parameter.Enter into decision box 1730.
Decision box 1730 is the examples that can provide flexibility to travelling carriage.For the sake of clarity employ single judgement in this example, but as it is evident that for those skilled in the art, additional rank can be introduced.In this case, carry out judging desirably maximum throughput or low latency.If expectation low latency, enters into step 1750.If expectation maximum throughput, enters into step 1740.
In both cases, one group of available parameter is defined.In this example, the parameter described in detail is in Table 1 used.The infinite combinations of parameter can be adopted.System can carry out undated parameter according to expectation by signaling.With the subset of the selectional restriction that travelling carriage is had to the total collection of parameter combinations in QoS can be calculated in.Such as, an economic travelling carriage or data type can have maximum T/P, and irrelevant with authorized T/P (scheduling base station also can in the same manner as limit this mandate).Or an economic travelling carriage may be forced to select maximum throughput all the time.Sometimes, extra flexibility relaxes the control closely that scheduling base station has on reverse chain channel.By restriction flexibility, extra capacity can be obtained.Therefore, flexibility or the data type of the travelling carriage of restriction economy may be suitable.
In step 1740, maximum throughput expected by travelling carriage, and the maximum encoder size therefore selecting T/P to allow, assuming that the subgroup of maximum number, and expect that needs are sent by all subgroups on an average.In Table 1, this corresponds to restriction row to being appointed as those with four 5ms time slots.For each encoder packet size, there is such a line.Then, select encoder packet size, described encoder packet is by T/P value index.Remaining parameter, such as repetition factor, modulation format, Walsh channel selection, encoding rate etc. are provided by suitable row.Except illustrate in Table 1 those except, the channel parameter that this will easily expand to without array by those skilled in the art.
In step 1750, expect the lower stand-by period, therefore, the subgroup that the subgroup of Selection radio maximum number is less, the subgroup for desired number retransmits (depend on channel status, probability of error etc., the actual number of re-transmission will change).For the possible minimum stand-by period, travelling carriage can select a line, makes this expectation (in the probability expected) be the Successful transmissions in single subgroup.Certainly, if the data that will be sent out are not suitable for, in single subgroup, giving available T/P, a line that can have a more than one subgroup (that is, 2 or 3) by selection reduces the actual stand-by period.Note, the untapped subgroup of travelling carriage (that is, carrying out judging to use the subgroup more less than maximum) can be redistributed in base station.In the exemplary embodiment, suppose that travelling carriage has the right to use all subgroups, carry out T/P mandate.If the subgroup before is correctly received, base station can ACK and continuation (if extra data are just at awaiting transmission), or the ARQ channel time slot redistributed subsequently is to different travelling carriages.Equally, provide too large move place may cause less closely controlling RoT to travelling carriage, therefore, potential output loss may be caused.Appropriateness, for the systematic function expected, is adjusted flexibility by those skilled in the art.
According to said herein, to those skilled in the art, for selecting the various methods of row to be apparent in the table from possible combination.An example sorts to this table based on each desired number combining T/P and the subgroup needed for data rate (with other parameter).Then travelling carriage selects the combination with the characteristic (stand-by period, throughput etc.) of expectation by from the subset can supported by the T/P provided.Or more simply, T/P can be the index of particular row.Indexed row can be upgraded by signaling.If expect extra flexibility, for given T/P, the number of selected subgroup can be indexed.Some data type, such as FTP, such as, can select maximum throughput option (that is, the maximum encoder packet size that the subgroup with maximum desired number retransmits) all the time.
Equally, the T/P system assignment parameter of example is used to describe this example.The embodiment of replacing can use a parameter of replacing, or can indicate one or more parameter for travelling carriage especially.From step 1740 or 1750, once have selected this parameter, this process can stop.
